Twice a week, The Chronicle features a local home on the market that caught our eye for its architecture, history or character. More photos: www.sfgate.com/columns/walkthrough.

Address: 18 Sheridan Court, Mill Valley

Asking price: $5.495 million

Description: From the artistic steel staircase to the stone cabana, superlative attention to detail is the signature of this gated Craftsman home. All five bedrooms include en suite bathrooms and are located on the same level. A walk-in shower, jetted tub and dual vanities highlight the spa-quality master bathroom, while the master bedroom area includes a gas fireplace and access to a private deck.

Hand-blown glass pendant lights illuminate the wet bar, and the dining room features a contemporary chandelier and divided-light windows. Outdoor spaces can be found on all three floors, and the home is surrounded by verdant, rolling hills.

Don't miss: More than 2 acres of private land with canyon views. The home includes several patios and a pool with a luxurious cabana.
